Chapter 4: Two of a Kind
The greasers walked around more. Dally couldn't help but to glance at Louis. He reminded him so much of Johnny. He felt the same way he felt for Johnny for Louis. He took a quick glance at Johnny. He remembered when he had been jumped by those socs. That made him scarred for life, kinda literally. He took another glance at Louis. He hoped he wouldn't get jumped. Johnny was enough.
Louis noticed that Dally was taking glances at him. He felt kinda uncomfortable. He hoped that Dally was suspicious of him. His greeting was different than everyone else's. He was kinda quiet. Two-Bit left later on when he found Cathy at the Dingo and Ponyboy stayed at the theater to watch another movie. Dally decided he would take the Johnny and Louis on a ride. They were on their way to Buck Merril's place to pick up his T-Bird.
"So kid," said Dally getting Louis' attention. "What brings you to Tulsa?" He had already talked to Soda at the DX. He said Ponyboy had told him that the kid seemed like he had amnesia. Either that or he was hiding something. Dally wanted to know.
"I was just walking through. I didn't know where I was."
Dally and Johnny looked at him puzzled.
"Didn't you notice the street signs?" asked Johnny. This was interesting enough to make Johnny talk.
"No. I really wasn't paying attention to anything."
That reminded Dally of what Ponyboy used as an excuse when he got in trouble with Darry. That guy stayed on Ponyboy too much.
They reached Buck's place and Dally went inside to him. Johnny and Louis sat on the steps of the house.
"So what do you guys do around here?" asked Louis.
"We play football, got to the movies, parties and get into rumbles."
"What are rumbles?"
Johnny thought for a moment. How would he describe a rumble?
"They're kind of like a big gang fight. Some you just use your hands but others you can use weapons. Like knives."
Louis thought for a moment. A big gang fight. They use weapons. That must be horrible looking after it finished. Especially if they used knives.
"Do you guys carry around knives?" asked Louis.
"Um…Yeah."
"Do you have one?"
Johnny hesitated. Should he pull it out? He only pulled it out for self-defense. He looked at Louis. He seemed trustworthy. Johnny didn't know why he felt comfortable around this kid.
"Okay."
Johnny pulled out his switchblade switched out the blade. Louis almost jumped when he did that. Louis was real nervous.
"Have you ever killed anyone with it?"
"No."
"Who else carries around one?"
"Two-Bit, and sometimes Steve and Soda."
Johnny put the blade back and put it back in his back pocket. He kinda felt tough getting out the blade. Johnny and Louis began talking more and getting to know each other. They really felt like friends even though they had just met each other.
Pretty soon, Dally came out with the keys to the T-Bird.
"Sorry I took so long," he started. "I had to argue with Buck a lot to borrow his car again. I don't know why he's complaining this much. He barely ever uses it."
They all hopped into the car and Dally started it up.
"Louis," said Dally turning his head.
"Yes."
"You better hang on for this roller coaster."
"What-"
Louis couldn't finish his sentence because he had to grab the car as Dally sped off. Johnny was hanging on to the door too. He wasn't as surprised though. He knew how Dally drove.
